Continuing in his rich vein of form, Australian welterweight contender, Jack Della Maddalena, lands his third Octagon win since arriving on the scene from Dana White’s Contender Series — stopping Danny Roberts with a blistering first round knockout on the main card of UFC Vegas 65 tonight.

Debuting in the promotion with a first round win over Peter Rodriguez back in January of this year at UFC 270, Della Maddalena would then return and book his second Octagon outing at UFC 275 in June in Singapore, scoring an impressive first round knockout win over Ramzan Emeev on that occasion in southeast Asia.

Returning tonight in ‘Sin City’, Della Maddalena managed to turn in a straight forward first round stoppage win over the aforenoted, Roberts, defeating the British welterweight with a slew of strikes early in the first frame of their main card outing.

Forcing Roberts to the fence, after hurting him on multiple occasions earlier in the first round, Della Maddalena closed the show with an abundance of shots, including a nasty strike to the body, dropping Roberts before landing his third consecutive UFC triumph in the first round.

Tim Means is planning to “violently” finish Danny Robert and keep his impressive win streak going at UFC Vegas 29 on June 19.

‘Dirty Bird’ has put back-to-back wins together for the first time since 2016 by beating Mike Perry and Laureano Staropoli in consecutive fights.

On the undercard of Chan Sung Jung vs. Dan Ige, Means hopes to make it three in a row when he faces the always exciting Englishman, Danny Roberts.

In an interview with LowKickMMA, Means gave props to his next opponent but says Roberts will be finished violently later this month.

“Good left-hander, you know, good boxer. He has a ton of heart,” means said. “He’s not a guy that’s gonna quit. I know he’s a guy that’s going to come look for me and make it a fight. I think the fans are in for a real treat with the way our styles clash and like always we’re gonna meet in the middle and figure that out.

“Nothing but respect to the UK guys and Danny and those guys over there but, I have to make a statement out of Danny,” Means added. “All due respect but I’ve got to finish Danny violently.”

The 37-year-old is predicting his fight with Roberts will be a fun one for as long as it lasts.

“It’ll be a barn burner,” Means said. “It’s going to be a back-and-forth affair. You always go in wanting to get your hand raised or whatever. Our skill sets are a lot of the same. It’s just going to be who’s going to get to who first.”

‘Hot Chocolate’ hasn’t fought since spectacularly knocking out Zelim Imadaev in November 2019. Before that, Roberts suffers consecutive knockout stoppage defeats against Michel Pereira and Cláudio Silva.

Do you think Tim Means will make it three wins in a row by beating Danny Roberts at UFC Vegas 29?

British welterweight Danny Roberts has pulled out of his fight with Nicolas Dalby which was scheduled to take place on July 25 – he has been replaced by UFC veteran Jesse Ronson. Roberts took to social media to confirm an injury had forced him out of the bout, he wrote.

“Yes, it’s true. I’m injured and, therefore, will not be fighting at Fight Island on 25 July. I’ve done everything within my control to prepare myself for the fight but the body says no. This decision has not been taken lightly and is one that I’ve never had to make before but it’s one I’ve had to make now. It wouldn’t have been fair to myself or my opponent to leave it any later to make this call. I’ll be back soon, gutted.”

Dalby also took to Instagram to react the news Roberts had fallen out of their fight and been replaced by UFC veteran Jesse Ronson, he wrote.

“That feeling when you find out your opponent for Fight Island is injured. but @UFC has already found a replacement for your #FightIsland fight! The Lokomotivo will now be taking on Jesse Ronson(fought to a split decision with Kevin Lee!) on July 25th. Can’t wait.”

Ronson returns to the UFC after being released by the promotion in 2014. The Canadian lost three straight UFC fights by split decision to Michel Prazeres, Francisco Trinaldo, and Kevin Lee. Ronson picked up a first-round submission win in his last fight in Canadian promotion BTC.

Dalby made his return to the UFC in his home country of Denmark last year when he beat Alex Oliveira by decision. He was originally booked to face Roberts at UFC London in March before the ongoing global pandemic meant that event was scrapped. Dalby will now face Ronson on ‘Fight Island’ later this month.

The UFC continue to build excitement for their return to London next year. Native Londoner Danny ‘Hot Chocolate’ Roberts and Danish fighter Nicolas Dalby have been scheduled to meet on the card which takes place in London, England on March 16.

This is a
long-imagined match-up for British MMA fans due to both fighters exploits outside
of the UFC. Roberts and Dalby both built their reputations fighting for Cage
Warriors. In impressive runs they rose to the top and captured the Cage
Warriors belt at 170lbs. They’ll now meet in the big leagues at UFC London.

‘Hot Chocolate’ got back to winning ways last time out against Islam Imadaev at UFC Russia. The 32-year-old scored an epic knockout to save his career in the promotion. Before then 2019 had not been kind to Roberts. He unfortunately became part of Michel Pereira’s highlight reel when they fought back in May. Before that he lost in controversial circumstances during the UFC’s last trip to London. Claudio Silva got the submission win, but it was clear for everyone to see that Roberts didn’t actually tap. He enters the fight with Dalby with an overall record of 17-5 and whilst he is 6-4 inside the UFC octagon.

Dalby’s first stint in the UFC didn’t exactly go to plan. After going 1-1-2 in four fights he was cut. Despite the fact he was never stopped and earned a credible draw with rising star Darren Till. Since then he has battled depression and alcoholism but has still managed to return to the top. Another Cage Warriors stint saw him regain his mojo and pick up an interim belt before he again got the call up. In front of a native crowd he picked up a unanimous decision win over the always tough Alex ‘Cowboy’ Olivera.

The fight will go down on the undercard of UFC London, on March 16 at the O2 Arena. As of yet no main event has been announced, although Darren Till is rumored to meet Jack Hermansson in a clash of middleweight contenders .
